I thought seniority was great, until 9/11.
Then it became a nitemare for me also. 10 years in my last airline, the last 5 wasted, with not a lot around for a few years after 9/11. The clock was ticking away and not getting any younger! Thousands of Jet hours under my belt and not even getting interviews during all the recent recruitment but all the younger guys getting in and away to escape to pastures that are greener. I had to finance a Bus rating myself to make myself employable again. Thankfully the gamble paid off but to the bottom of another seniority list I go. At least I'm happier now and the FTL's are actually used as a guide and not a target any more.
